As far as I've been able to tell it was a new part as well as the knees. I think since they were trying to find something that would fit over a motorcycle boot they had to come up with something new.

We still need a correct image for the shins that has the straps reversed with clips on the outsides. Forearms Lvl 2 - On the ridged rail the third retaining button head closest to the elbow is a silver M5 dome head bolt. Why does the FOTK have a Lvl 3 when it barely has entries for Lvl 2? It's like they just skipped Lvl 2 and wanted to have a Lvl 3 to seem cool. Just nitpicking here.

I've got a few changes for Lvl 2. I'll list them shortly. Would you mind listing your Lvl 2 additions here?

Not that I know of. The BTS shots as well as the promo shot and even the toy are all "clean". Clean will also help with transitioning other FOTKs into this costume, not that we need to base any choices on this, but it's helps with butts in armor.

Optional SE-44C Pistol Based on a replica Glock 17 repeating pistol, scratch-built, or a modified commercial Stormtrooper toy. Details to be painted black, white and silver per reference photos.

CRL Adjustments Biceps Biceps have one seam that faces forward, and a seam on the inside of the arm. The rest of the bicep must be seamless. A clip greeblie is present low and across the seam. Two black ovals are present on the outside-facing side of the bicep. Portion of bicep facing wearer is painted gloss black in an angled fashion including clip greeble. Forearms Forearms shall have have ridged rail, similar to a picatinny, embedded on the inside of the forearm, roughly covered 1/3rd by a box shape. Inside of forearm is painted gloss black. Forearms shall have a box on the bottom the wrist end. Each box shall have a single black square in the lower inside corner. Each forearm shall have two 'clasp greeblies' on the outside facing surface, near the wrist. Detail box includes black rectangle on small edge perpendicular and closest to wrist. Portion of forearm facing the wearer is painted gloss black with a slightly wavy edge including the 2 clip greebles. Belt The belt is ribbed and made from a rubber or a rubber like material. The width of the belt is approximately 2" (50mm). Five white rectangular boxes and one pouch sit on the belt. There are 2 horizontal boxes on the front, on each side of the center. They are painted white on the outside half and black on the inside half. One horizontal box has an indent running vertically just off center. There are 2 vertical boxes on the right of the wearer. There are 2 large vertical black cloth pouches with a white cover behind the left side and right sides of the wearer. A are 2 small black cloth pouches worn on the left side and right sides one of which hides the buckle or remaining belt material. Trousers White, loose-fitting material. Front of thighs have seams running from the groin area to just above the knee. There are corresponding seams on the backsides which stop roughly half way across the back of the thigh. Seams are approximately 1 inch apart, creating ribs on the front of the trousers. Batting is used to give the ribs a raised appearance. Knee Plates White and curved Top angles down sharply on the sides. Bottom angles up gradually on the sides. 9 raised ribs run vertically down the plate. Knee Gaskets Gaskets shall be rubber or a shiny black material with ridges. Gaskets are only visible between the Knee Plates and top of Shin Plates Width should be smaller than knee plates Shin Plates Cover front of wearer's leg from just below the knee to the ankle. Curve out to the outside of the wearer's leg. Strapped to the wearer's leg with two 1 inch elastic straps or webbing straps. One white clip greeble is attached to each strap on the outer side of each leg. Clips resemble the same clips used on the forearms and biceps but scaled accordingly to match the 1” width of the leg straps. Oval indent visible approximately 1/3 way up the outer side of each Shin Plate. Each side of the Shin Plates should have 4 “vent” recesses facing forward. Front of Shin Plate is covered with a separate cover plate that curves outward slightly where it meets the boot. Top of front plate has a recessed oval at the top.

That's a great finish you were able to get on the blaster. Man do I hate sanding parts.

Congrats. Another Patrol Trooper ready for Imperial service is always welcomed.

Great job and dedication to the small details. You're just a stone's throw away from Lancer.

I would suggest opening the file in a program like 3D Builder (Windows) or something similar. That way you can see how the parts fit together. Different models will vary slightly even when getting dimensions from the same place. Every modeler does things slightly differently.

The PT back is identical to the Shore just a different color. The parts should be interchangeable. There may be some slight adjustments in dimensions though.

LIst of things that need fixing/adjusting. Shin straps are swapped and should have the clip on the outside Cod might be a TFA cod and should be a TLJ cod, Justin reed pointed this out and the TLJ is more flat Bicep velcro Shoulder attachments (straps or velcro) Helmet pad Suspenders for pants Pants should be slightly tighter and may need t o be taken in a bit, also need stirrups Waist pushed up farther Soft velcro on back of belt boxes Hook velcro on waist zipper section Rear of neck needs to be cut out a bit more Yoke under arms in front needs to be trimmed down slightly to match Chest curve Better velcro alignment for Chest Check cracks on Forearms Possible waist additional shims Knee ribs should be 9 not 11, probably make the new ones from ABS Helmet vents are black and should be white

Yeah, rush job to get these photos taken. I'll be more careful next time. Hopefully I'll have another helper with me. We're recruiting someone who's built several FOTK kits to help with the final fitting and adjustments. I think it looks really good so far though and Raj has done a great job.

There's a running list of about a dozen things that we noticed will suiting him up that need fixing/adjusting. Both of those are on the list but I definitely appreciate critiques and more sets of eyes on this thing. The straps were just a stupid mistake on my part at 9:30pm after a very long day.

Lastly, the Money Shot.

Test suit up. Definitely some things to still sort out but it was a pretty good suit up and things fit pretty good. The main area of concern is getting the chets to sit properly.

More Parts. Updated chest with decal.

Uploading photos of Raj's build. Mostly finished parts. Full resolution pics at Flickr.

I've got files that I created for the scope on the DLT 19X that you could cast as an addition if you're feeling up for it.

Great work Lancer.

I too am waiting until this is released so I can build mine.

Thanks for continuing to help out the Scout community and keep us moving forward.

I have, and anyone who needs them for personal use please just PM me. Otherwise any makers can PM and we can work something out.

Gloves: The clip as well as the leather attachment tab need to be removed. Blaster: Correct, filled. Use the "auction Blaster" (Scoutopedia) as a reference, NOT the "Hero Blaster" Holster: Yes, you'll need to fill the cuts that you already made with ABS paste or something similar and then cut them out again. The best reference is that they should only be about as thick as a dremel cutting wheel. Shoulder: Good call, better to make sure than have to rebuild the shoulders straps.
